Bapindo trial

Bapindo trial

According to the Attorney General Singgih, the dossiers on the Bapindo credit fraud will be submitted to the court by the end of this month. It is to be noted that the government has the political will to take concrete steps toward a clean and respectable administration.

The fact that the Bapindo case is going to trial reflects that the House of Representatives is carrying out its watchdog role effectively, a fact that is refreshing, indeed.

However, there are still a number of other corruption cases and instances of leakage of state funds that have to be pushed to the fore. We all hope that the government can rid itself of corruptors and manipulators so that its mechanism of administration can work properly.

However, whether the government really has the political will to purge itself completely remains to be seen.

In order to resume its normal operation, Bapindo must work hard to make big profit. This is not easy for Bapindo.

Will Bapindo collapse? Not likely. With sure government's backing, Bapindo will be able play the tune as nicely as ever.
